has anyone used the wildcountry drop/leveling shackles

I flipped my 73 and did 3in spindles and a full coil cut on 3/4 ton front springs...I already wanna go lower. .. my thought is cut another half coil in the front giving me an inch. And out back switching from specialty retails flip to flipping the spring perch giving me about an inch- 3/4 inch then using this... http://www.roughcountry.com/lowering...es-rc0501.html kit to get another inch

Those will work,... but you will need to install a c-notch to make the ride better.
COOL TRUCK!

Thanks Keith to up the cool factor its got a t56 ..the fronts settled since the pic. Its got a great stance I just wanna be lower. I kinda planned on a notch but was gonna drop more first. Theres a lot of room still.

I would be careful cutting too much off of the front spring. I have the front springs off of the orange '74 if we can find a way to ship them. I am pretty sure I have a set of shackles as well.

Sounds good to me Jon. I know two full rounds off the springs is too much so I was thinkin 1.25 and go from there. I really appreciate that! Maybe it'll fit in a flat rate.. or something. Pm me some details.
